Implementing The Public Welfare Requirement In New Mexico's Water Code, Consuelo Bokum Oct 1996

Implementing The Public Welfare Requirement In New Mexico's Water Code, Consuelo Bokum

Publications

Despite the fact that the New Mexico legislature added a public welfare criterion to the water code over 10 years ago, the State Engineer Office has not addressed the application of the criterion by regulation and has only addressed the public welfare briefly in a few decisions. There is almost no case law in New Mexico addressing this issue. More and more participants, however, are raising public welfare in water rights protests. This paper addresses how the public welfare criterion has developed in western water law and proposes an approach for use of the criterion in New Mexico.

The New Dimensions Of United Nations Peacemaking, Louis B. Sohn Sep 1996

The New Dimensions Of United Nations Peacemaking, Louis B. Sohn

Scholarly Works

Since its beginning, mankind has alternated between periods of peace and war. The Twentieth Century was the first one in which attempts were made to outlaw war and to establish institutions which would protect the peoples of the world against war. After the carnage of the Second World War, the United Nations was established "to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war," and the Security Council was given the "primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security." The founders of the United Nations tried to ensure that the Council would have necessary means for discharging this responsibility, …

As we enter the second half of the Decade of International Law proclaimed by the United Nations in preparation for the new era of the twenty-first century, it has become more and more apparent that among the fundamental principles of international law currently ripening for codification, the principles of good-neighborliness deserve our utmost and urgent consideration, lest more of us will fall further victims to intolerance and succumb to the temptation of unneighborly conduct.
